MY REVIEW

My family and I were really excited when we were sent both the class of Disney's Aladdin and the live action remake. We are huge fans of not only the movie, but of the actor, Will Smith. Going in, I was a bit hesitant because how can anyone replace the original Genie, the late Robin Williams, but let me tell you, Will Smith did a fantastic job on playing Genie. Not only did Will Smith make this character his own with bringing in some of his personality that we all love to the character of Genie, but also played it so well that I believe Robin William would be proud to see it done in such a way that kept us all entertained and singing along to the classic song, "You Ain't Never Had A Friend Like Me."

Now moving on to the other characters in this story, I have to say we were all quite impressed by the actors who played Aladdin and Princess Jasmine. Not only did they capture almost every aspect of the classic movie, Aladdin, which could be hard to do considering it was an animation, but they added in a few twists that wasn't in the original movie and I have to say, we really enjoyed this film. Filled with bright and beautiful colours along with catchy songs that had us all singing them by the end of the movie, the live action movie of Aladdin definitely impressed my entire family and we can't wait to watch it again.

Teaming up with Disney Canada, we're excited to offer one of our Canadian readers a chance at winning not only the live action version of Aladdin, but the classic animation as well. All you need to do is comment below who your favorite character in the movie is and that's it!

Disclosure: All opinions are my own. I received both live action and classic movie Aladdin at no cost for the purpose of this review. No other compensation was received.
